Welcome to Avoid!,

The site that helps you avoid the bad companies and products out there and focus on the good ones. Think of the site as a review site, but without the good reviews if you get what we mean. People in Britain are not bothered about how good something is, we don't care.

Most of the review sites are filled with reviews left by people who are paid by the company who benefits from the product or service. We are different because we have banned good reviews, we only want to know about who or what needs to be avoided and why! 

There is a saying in marketing that if someone gets good service they tell 1 person, if someone gets bad service they tell 10. We rely on the British public to inform us of poor service and products, without you we can't grow. Hopefully not but the next time you are on the wrong end of a transaction, whatever it may be, come to us and help others avoid them .

What subjects do we cover? Avoid, covers all subjects where there is a financial transaction involved. So everything from plumbers, rogue builders to banks and bankruptcy.
